Having attended several of the shows this week, all of which were wonderful, I'm looking forward to this one as well.

Rosetta Getty, by any measure, has had an enormously full life. The successful designer runs her namesake fashion label, is involved in multiple philanthropic activities, actively engages in the art world, and relishes her role as a mother to four children. She doesn’t shy away from the cliché of having it all.

“Sometimes having it all feels like just having a lot of work,” Getty says. “I try not to complain. Thank goodness I was able to have a big family, and I get to do what I love to do, and I’m married to a great guy, and I have a great community.”

Getty’s very full life begins at 6 a.m. with getting the kids off to school. Before she plunges into the world of running a fashion brand, she tries to take a moment to meditate and get centered. After the work at her day job is done, Getty focuses her energy on her nonprofit efforts, entertaining, and making time to see art and interact with artists.

No single part of her life exists in isolation. Her lifestyle and her passions guide her designs in both aesthetic and practical ways.
